Cybersecurity has become more than a compliance requirement—it’s a mission requirement. As the Department of War (DoW) continues implementing the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, organizations entrusted with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) are expected to demonstrate that they have the safeguards needed to protect it. That’s why we’re proud to share that Navaide has achieved unconditional Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 following an independent assessment conducted by CyberRx, an accredited Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).
More importantly, this milestone reinforces the trust our customers place in us every day.
Why CMMC Level 2 Matters
Many of the defense missions we support require us to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), sensitive information that demands rigorous protection. CMMC Level 2 certification provides independent, third-party validation that our cybersecurity practices meet the Department of War’s established requirements for protecting that information. For our customers, this means working with a partner whose security posture has been independently assessed and verified. That distinction becomes increasingly important as Phase 2 of the DoW’s CMMC rollout takes effect in November 2026, when third-party certification becomes a requirement for organizations competing for many DoW contracts. Ultimately, certification isn’t simply about meeting a contractual requirement. It’s about giving our customers confidence that the systems, processes, and people supporting their missions operate with security at the forefront.
Building Security Into Everything We Do
Achieving unconditional CMMC Level 2 required far more than implementing new technology. It required demonstrating that security is embedded throughout the way we operate—from protecting systems and data to documenting processes, training employees, and continuously managing risk. Over several months, our teams strengthened technical controls across our Microsoft 365 GCC High environment, refined policies and procedures, documented evidence for every required control, and prepared for a comprehensive third-party assessment. The independent assessment, conducted by CyberRx, validated that every required security control was fully implemented and operating effectively at the time of review, with no outstanding Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms). Just as importantly, this achievement reflects the commitment of people across Navaide. Security isn’t the responsibility of one department. It depends on collaboration across technical teams, operations, leadership, and every employee who plays a role in protecting the information our customers entrust to us.
“Achieving CMMC Level 2 certification is a direct reflection of the commitment we make to our government customers every day—to handle their information with integrity and to operate at the standard they require,” says Eric Hansen, Senior Director of Business Operations at Navaide. “This certification validates the work our team has put into building a secure, compliant environment that our customers can trust.”
Part of a Broader Commitment to Operational Excellence
CMMC Level 2 is one part of Navaide’s broader commitment to operational excellence. Alongside our ISO 9001:2015 certification, it reflects an organization built around quality, accountability, continuous improvement, and secure delivery. While each certification measures something different, both reinforce the same commitment: earning and maintaining our customers’ trust. We pursue these certifications not simply because requirements evolve, but because they strengthen the way we serve our customers. They help us deliver with greater consistency, protect sensitive information more effectively, and continuously improve how we support mission outcomes.
Looking Ahead
Cybersecurity will continue to evolve alongside the missions we support. As new technologies emerge and security expectations increase, we remain committed to investing in the people, processes, and technologies that help our customers operate with confidence. Trust isn’t built through a single certification. It’s earned through consistent execution, transparency, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Achieving unconditional CMMC Level 2 is an important milestone for Navaide, but more importantly, it’s another way we demonstrate our commitment to helping government organizations adapt, thrive, and accomplish their missions securely.
